Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Harry Reid International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 08L, with a takeoff distance of 941 meters, which was 28% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 129 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile south east of Paradise, Nevada, and reached an altitude of 32,925 feet above sea level, increasing by 29,878 feet in 11 minutes and covering 73 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise that started 8 miles west of Littlefield, Arizona, and lasted 18 minutes, covering 157 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles south east of Delta, Utah, and decreased its altitude from 32,739 feet to 15,029 feet in 7 minutes and covering 51 nautical miles. A short level cruise followed, starting 1 mile south of Topliff, Utah, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles. The descent continued 2 miles south of Copperton, Utah, with a decrease in altitude from 13,579 feet to 6,011 feet in 7 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and lasting 7 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16R at Salt Lake City International Airport was made from the north, heading 175.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level.
The landing occurred on runway 16R, which was 3,660 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above target, but the threshold speed was good at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 437 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind of 9 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 963 meters, which was 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,098 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) on runway 16R, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold speed of 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated. The touchdown distance of 437 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly higher than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not perfectly controlled.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The total landing distance of 963 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft's landing performance was good, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 at KSLC was excellent, with a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft's approach and touchdown were precise, and the landing distance was short. The local weather conditions were favorable, and the pilot's skills were evident in the smooth and controlled landing.
